3 STEPS TO IDENTIFY YOUR VALUE FEEL CONFIDENT IN BUSINESS!

We’ve all been taught that bragging is annoying, but when you’re afraid to identify your worth, it can really hurt your confidence and success in business. To prevent that from happening, here are three tips to make it easy to name your price! NO. 1: GET TO KNOW YOUR VALUE. How do we figure out our value? Specifically, how do we come up with a quantifiable method to reach an exact, irrefutable number? Well, we don’t. The best place to start is deciding who you want to be in your business and industry and building from there. With a solid mission statement and concrete affirmations that support your value in the business, you’ll gain more confidence in arriving at a price point. NO. 2: BE OPEN TO RECEIVING — AND GIVING — LOVE. Accepting compliments can be tough, but in business, compliments can be powerful catapults to your continued success. When you take time to notice all the people you’ve helped, the accomplishments you’ve achieved, and the difference you’ve made, the motivation it fosters is monumental. Keep your happy emails, texts, and reviews from clients and create an easy reference for instant, uplifting support. If a client seems happy, never be afraid to ask for a testimonial. Many people simply need to be asked, and they’ll be happy to provide one.

In the same stride, consider the people who help you and your business every day and find ways to show appreciation. Passing that love around can make a huge difference in energizing the way you perceive your value. NO. 3: MAKE THE FINAL GAME PLAN. After considering what your offerings are likely worth, whom you’re looking to serve, and what they’d be willing to pay, you can name your final price. After all, prices don’t fall from the sky. Without obsessing over it, look at what kind of value your competitors have set for themselves. That’ll give you a great starting point.

Take good care of yourself, friends — and don’t forget that a confident price tag is a great way to do just that in your business.

CYCLING DUI? YEP, IT’S A THING!

GEORGIA CLASSIFIES BIKES AS VEHICLES

The state of Georgia classifies a normal bicycle as a vehicle. Facing a conviction for cycling while intoxicated is serious and should be treated with as much caution and concern as a regular DUI. Because a bicycle is considered a vehicle, traffic laws prohibiting drivers from operating their vehicles under the influence apply to those riding a bike, too. To be guilty of cycling under the influence, one must be under the influence of alcohol or another drug to the extent that it is not safe to be riding a bicycle. This includes intentionally under the influence of topic vapors, glue, or aerosols or a combination of these substances. If the cyclist’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08 or higher while riding or in physical control of the bicycle within three hours from the time of consumption, or they are under the influence of marijuana or a non- prescribed controlled substance, they can be charged with a DUI.

It should be noted that even if you have a prescription for a controlled substance, an arrest for cycling under the influence could still take place if that drug is impairing your ability to safely ride the bicycle. Keep in mind that even if you are arrested and facing charges for cycling under the influence, you are not guilty until all legal elements required for the conviction are proven in a court of law. Cycling under the influence is a misdemeanor offense in the state of Georgia, and one may face up to 12 months in jail or a $1,000 fine if found guilty.
